Text Part Number OL-4338-02

Introduction

The mux/demux motherboards hold the optical mux/demux modules. Either slot 0 or slot 1 can be populated with a single mux/demux motherboard for unprotected operation, or both slots can be populated for protected operation.

The mux/demux motherboards can accept up to four mux/demux modules:

•Up to four 4-channel add/drop mux/demux modules

•Up to four 8-channel add/drop mux/demux modules

•One 32-channel terminal mux/demux module

The OSC is implemented with a dedicated laser and detector for a 33rd wavelength (channel 0) on the mux/demux motherboard. The OSC is a per-fiber duplex management channel for communicating between Cisco ONS 15540 systems. It allows control and management traffic to be carried without the necessity of a separate Ethernet connection to each Cisco ONS 15540 ESPx, Cisco ONS 15540 ESP, and Cisco ONS 15530 in the network.

The OSC is established over a point-to-point connection and is always terminated on a neighboring node. By contrast, data channels may or may not be terminated on a given node, depending on whether the channels are express (pass-through) or add/drop.

Note A Cisco ONS 15540 system on which the OSC is not present is not known to other systems in the network and cannot be managed by any NMS. Without the OSC, a Cisco ONS 15540 ESPx system must be managed individually by separate Ethernet or serial connections. Thus, it is important when adding a node to an existing network of Cisco ONS 15540 systems that the added node have OSC support.

Determining the Release of Your Mux/Demux Motherboard Functional Image

This section describes the process you use to determine the existing functional image version installed on your mux/demux motherboard.

Updating to a New Release

For information on updating functional images, refer to the Cisco ONS 15540 ESPx Software Upgrade Guide or the Cisco ONS 15540 ESP Software Upgrade Guide. To download the processor card functional image, go to the following URL:

http://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/tablebuild.pl/ons15540-fpga.

Caution A functional image download cannot revert once the download is started. Do not interrupt the download procedure. Wait until it has finished before attempting any commands on the switch. Confirm that the download is done in binary mode and check file sizes before and after download. A failure during reprogramming can result in the card being unusable.

Caveat Symptoms and Workarounds

This section describes the resolved caveat for this release of the mux/demux motherboard functional image.

• CSCdv38108

Symptom: The CDL HEC error count is not updated when CDL HEC errors occur on the OSC.

Workaround: Upgrade the functional image to version 2.65 or later.

• CSCeb18103

Symptom: When a trunk fiber break occurs, the OSC wave interface may not come back up after the trunk fiber break is restored if laser safety control had been configured on the OSC wave interface while the trunk fiber was broken.

Workaround: Upgrade the functional image to version 2.67 or later.

TAC Case Priority Definitions

To ensure that all cases are reported in a standard format, Cisco has established case priority definitions.

Priority 1 (P1)—Your network is "down" or there is a critical impact to your business operations. You and Cisco will commit all necessary resources around the clock to resolve the situation.

Priority 2 (P2)—Operation of an existing network is severely degraded, or significant aspects of your business operation are negatively affected by inadequate performance of Cisco products. You and Cisco will commit full-time resources during normal business hours to resolve the situation.

Priority 3 (P3)—Operational performance of your network is impaired, but most business operations remain functional. You and Cisco will commit resources during normal business hours to restore service to satisfactory levels.

Priority 4 (P4)—You require information or assistance with Cisco product capabilities, installation, or configuration. There is little or no effect on your business operations.
